Today was a Springtime day to enjoy sounds. I weeded and listened to the eerie drumming of Ruffed Grouses and the buzzing of hummingbirds and bees. #trillium #nativeplants #pnw

I heard somebody say that when you kick a hornet's nest, it's the hornet that decides when the fight is over 🐝 That is such a true statement.

Charlie Kirk began speaking out against Trump and was "repurposed" as a martyr.

Trump wants to build a ballroom—I want to build more affordable housing, and only one of us sits on the Appropriations Committee. His budget is going right in the trash as far as I’m concerned.

It is the newspaper of American empire and the CIA, after all. Human beings are barely pieces on a game board.

Bombing for God. Trump is trying to turn this into a religious crusade.

This week's comic on the authoritarian takeover of US media

Nobody who actually lives near a conflict zone is asking if war was worth it. That question only gets asked from a safe distance

Whoever successfully applies the power assist principles of an e-bike to a wheelbarrow is going to die extraordinarily rich

I'm at this stage.

Get vaccinated. Because Science. Because Empathy.

Pam Bondi proves that for Trump, you can't debase yourself enough.

HEADLINE OF THE DAY: 😆 #BuhBYE

Pretty soon, Trump/Kegseth are going to send troops to war because of 'God's Will'.

Pete Hegseth sent U.S. troops to fight and die in Iran. Was he trying to cash in on the war behind closed doors? This would be a massive betrayal. I’m pressing for a full investigation NOW.

Let’s be more efficient. Pay fossil fuel companies 50 billion a year to do NOTHING. And spend 50 billion a year to subsidize EVs. And stop bombing everyone who gets between us and middle eastern oil.

Democratic Congressman Lloyd Doggett said it was hard to pick the “biggest whooper” from Trump’s speech, but his claim that the US had “no inflation” might be the winner. That's an excellent place to begin, but only scratches the surface.

A parents immigration status does not disqualify a child born in the US. Under the 14th, birthplace takes precedence over parental citizenship, as it should be. You will lose this case trump, you pathetic, little prick. You are absolutely hated.

Men: Trump doesn’t sound right Women: it’s dementia Men: I don’t know something is off about Trump Women: it’s dementia Men: Trump sounds kinda unhinged Women: BECAUSE HE HAS DEMENTIA HOLY FUCK

Bondi will be the perfect new contestant on Dancing With the Stars. They've had Spicer and Bolton... she'd probably be better.

The wa examiner is a rag👎🏼

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

I don't know how Speaker Johnson can say that with a straight face when the Big Ugly Bill slashed Medicaid, SNAP, and so many other programs working Americans rely on to get by. Their bill was billionaires first and working people last.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is about to sign a voter suppression law. Super lawyer Marc Elias is ready to file a lawsuit to stop it: “Florida will be sued.” 🍿

BREAKING: A magnitude 5.0 earthquake, measuring lower 5 on Japan’s seismic intensity scale, struck Ibaraki Prefecture at 10:06 a.m. on Wednesday. There is no threat of a tsunami, and there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

Cambodia’s Ministry of Health (MOH) has reported its third human H5N1 avian flu infection of 2026, according to Avian Flu Diary. The infected patient is a 3-year-old boy from Oddar Meanchey province who was confirmed positive for H5N1 on March 29 and is currently hospitalized.

Rick Scott thought he was doing the right thing when he stole a historic amount from Medicare to line his stockholders' and his own pockets. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2018...

Because of course they are.

I don't know what SCOTUS will do on birthright citizenship case, it's anybody's guess. But if they endorse Trump's diktat, the only response is defiance. Outright, open defiance by the states. A decision not just erroneous but illegitimate, beyond their power, null and void from the day it's issued.

The evergreen Tall Oregon Grape, aka Mahonia, official state flower of Oregon. It grows wild and bold in Washington's sunniest places, too. The berries will be a rich purplish blue and are edible. #pnw #nativeplants

Have screamed this for decades. Why is it that a lawyer can get disbarred for lying in a court of law or misleading the court while politicians aren’t held accountable for lies? We must change the lack of ethical standards or its enforcement applied to politicians & end this cyclical pathology.

This protest sign in Porto, Portugal is amazing! 🔥

I beg “No Kings” Americans to discuss a general strike. Break your economy. You can’t be serious about ending this regime while you keep spending disposable income and propping up the economy as a consumer. You wanna break it? Stop buying new things. Repair things. Buy used. Don’t eat at chains.

This is my favorite!
